For most modern women today, no matter if you're from the east or the west, menses is weird. We aren't passed down women's wisdom on what it's all about. We're often caught missed 20+ years of good women wisdom schooling by the time we're in our 30s. We wonder what our puberty and early adulthood might have been like if we'd had a clue.
Meet Sinu Joseph. She's been busy advancing the conversation in villages around India about the ancient customs from Ayurveda and Yoga around menses. She is clarifying the roots of women's empowerment, not to mention human empowerment, based in these traditions.
As you listen, notice what if different from what we're talking about to what you're menarche - menopause experience has been like. Cooperate? Disconnected? Antagonistic? Are you perplexed by the seemingly restrictive recommendations around periods in yoga and ayurveda?
In this episode Sinu Joseph reconnects us with how and why menstrual cycles must become a positive experience in our lives. She debunks and demystifies patriarchal overlays on matriarchal rituals for women’s moon cycles. But she doesn’t stop there.
